BURNER.

Application filed May 22, 1922. Serial No. 562,696. y

To all ifi/tom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JACOB DnirIL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ashland, in the county of Ashland and State of l/Visconsin,have invented a new and useful Burner, of which the following is aspecnif cation.

This invention relates to fuel burners, and more particularly to aburner especially designed for burning crude oil.

The primary object of the invention 1s to provide arburner of thischaracter wherein the heat from the burning oil will be utilized forvaporizing the incoming oil to facilitate the operation of the burner.

`With the foregoing and other objects in lview which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvenJ tion.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a burner constructed inaccordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the burner.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the burner.

Figure 4iis a top plan view.

Figure 5 is a plan view of one of the burners proper.

Figure 6 is an end elevational view of the burner.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference character 5designates the base of the burner, which is rectangular in formation,and provided with downwardly eX- tending flanges 6, formed along thelongitudinal edges thereof.

Formed in the base 5 at points adjacent to the ends thereof are circularopenings provided with inwardly extending flanges 7 cooperating with theflanges 8 formed on the burners proper for supporting the burners inproper relation with respect to the base.

Each of these burner elements is formed i with a groove or pocketindicated at 9, there being formed a central opening 10 inthe respectiveburners through which the liquid" fuel passes to the vcombustion chamberto be hereinafter more fully described. A central opening indicated at11 is formed in v the base and receives the downwardly extended portion12 of the upper' portion of the burner for directing air to the burnerchambers 13, which are disposed directly over the burners proper, andare indicated generally by the `reference character 14;. 65

The upper portion 22 of the burner is divided by the wall 15 forminglateral pas* sageways for the air passing through the burner, dainpers17 being mounted in the passageway for controlling the volume of airpassing to the burner chambers. Openings 18 are formed in the upperportion of the burner, which openings communicate with the centralopenings 10 of the burners proper' through the angularly disposed 75openings 19.

As shown, the upper portion of the burner is disposed in spaced relationwith the lower portion thereof to provide spaces 2O to permit the flameto pass outwardly un- 80 der the upper portion. Lugs 21 are provided onthe upper portion and Contact with the lower portion for supporting theupper portion in such spaced relation.

It is to be understood, that the burner as herein described and shown,is of the downdraft type, the air entering the burner through thelateral passageways, where the same circulates through the burnerproper.

It might be further stated that the burner is especially designed foruse in range Ereboxes, wherein the range may be converted from a coalburning structure to a structure wherein liquid fuel may be employed.

In the use of the burner, the upper portion thereof is removed, and aquantity of fuel is placed in the pocket 9 and lighted to heat theburner proper. When lthe burner has become suflciently heated, liquidfuel is supplied through the openings 10, the openings lOvbeing incommunication with a suitable source of liquid supply not shown.

It is obvious that as the liquid fuel contacts with the heated burnerthe same becomes readily vaporized and easily ignited.

tion,` a Wallin the upper portion for dividing the upper portion intolateral passage- Ways, said upper portion havingl openings disposedabove the obliquely disposed openings to permit air to pass through theupper section and contact with they burners, and means for controllingthe passage of air through the upper section. f

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiXedmy signa-- ture in the presence of two Witnesses.

JACOB DIEHL.
